| - Not only is this an aesthetically pleasing environment (to me), but I just got a new lens for my camera (a full manual one), and while I'm still learning how to be a "real" photographer, I'm catching on. The chandelier is pretty cool; it's two stories tall! I hope you enjoy the pic's!
Hotel Indigo has a different vibe than a lot of franchise or Corporately-owned hotels, and that's a GOOD thing. The architecture and decor don't let you forget you're in Phoenix, and in a pretty special place. Everyone on the staff here has been super-friendly, accommodating, and just plain NICE! From Rayna (my desk clerk), to Bleu (one of the Managers) to Larry (no, the other Larry, the Valet) to Rick, the GM (I think), everyone is way cool!
I LOVE my room! Ranks as one of the best hotel rooms I've ever stayed in personally. Great decor, design, layout; seems more spacious than just a one-room place. However, I don't understand the "half-glass" in the shower stall, and whassup with the HOLE in the glass? Anyway, just add a mini-fridge and M'wave (and there's plenty of room for that) and I could LIVE here! Great decor, design, layout, location. The only shortcoming, to me at least, was a lack of selection from the hotel bar / restaurant, but heck, there's so much stuff within an easy walk, it doesn't really matter. The Hotel Indigo is right next to the Entertainment District in Scottsdale, or one of 'em, at least.
I can't go a full five-stars, cuz you've gotta compare against the entire Hospitality Industry, but there's plenty to like about Hotel Indigo! I'm not much of a Ritz Carlton sort of dude anyway, ya know?
I'm gonna stay here again, on my return to Austin; that gives me something to look forward to for the return trip, and I can't wait!
